(5) After all rough cutting terminates along the first axis on the plane
(Z-axis for the ZX plane), the tool temporarily returns to the
cycle start point. At this time, when there is a position whose
height equals to that at the start point, the tool passes through the
point in the position obtained by adding depth of cut ∆d to the
position of the figure and returns to the start point.
Then, rough cutting is performed as finishing along the target
figure. At this time, the tool passes through the point in the
obtained position (to which depth of cut ∆d is added) when
returning to the start point.
Bit 2 (RF2) of parameter No. 5105 can be set to 1 so that rough
cutting as finishing is not performed.

(6) Order and path for rough cutting of pockets
Rough cutting is performed in the following order.
(a) When the figure shows monotone decrease along the first
axis on the plane (Z-axis for the ZX plane)
<1>
<2>
<3>
Rough cutting is performed in the order <1>, <2>, and <3>
from the rightmost pocket.
